Flooded towns get funding boost

In western Queensland, the flood-affected communities of Flinders and Boulia will receive the State Government's disaster relief funding.

The Member for Mt Isa, Betty Kiernan, says the funding has been extended to those communities after the severe weather caused damage to local and state roads.

Thirteen councils are affected by flooding and within the Mt Isa electorate Natural Diaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements will apply to the local government areas of Boulia, Flinders, Richmond and Winton.
